Valentina Medda è un'artista interdisciplinare di origine sarda che attualmente vive e lavora a Bologna. Ha conseguito un Master in Filosofia all'Università di Bologna -Alma Mater Studiorum, una Laurea in Fotografia all'ICP -International Center of Photography-NYC, e una qualifica come Teaching Artist dal CWP -Community Word Project di New York.
La pratica artistica di Medda si snoda tra l’immagine, la performance e l’intervento/installazione, situandosi al confine labile che delimita pubblico e privato, corpo e architettura, città e appartenenza sociale. Poiche' il suo lavoro e' interdisciplinare e il suo processo artistico e' performativo, i suoi progetti trovano spazio sia all'interno degli ambienti di arte visiva che di Festival di performance art, tra questi il Festival di Santarcangelo in Romagna, l'AUAWIRLEBEN di Berna -CH, e l'OPENBARE WERKEN di Gent -BE, Danza Urbana a Bologna.
Negli ultimi anni è stata artist in residence al VOORUIT di Gent -BXL, al BAR di Beirut, alla Cité de arts a Parigi, a Flux Factory a NY, a Les bains connective a Brussels, a MaisonVentidue a Bologna.
Il suo lavoro e’ stato esibito in italia e all’estero, da NY a Parigi e Praga e ha ricevuto numerosi premi e riconoscimenti, tra cui il Cimetta Fund per la mobilita' artistica, il Movin up della Regione Emilia Romagna, la IAP Mentorship della NYFA -New York Foundation for Arts e il Tina Art PRIZE, premio internazionale di Arte Contemporanea.
Il suo progetto Cities by Night e' appena stato selezionato come uno dei 19 progetti vincitori (su 150 partecipanti) del bando europeo Perform Europe, e verra' presentato, tra Aprile e Giugno in Italia, Norvegia e Kosovo.
Tra i suoi progetti curatoriali: Architettura e desiderio -Art Salon, con Steven Polk, Will Owen, Kate Sclavi, Wieteke Heldens, Flux Factory, NY; Marginalia: On the Edges of Art, Money & Access Brunch + Art salon, Flux Factory -NYC, con Gabrielle Mertz, Michi Jigarjian e Qiana Mestrich. In Cantiere#1 e #2, Potluck/Art Salon, Bologna, IT, con Eva Geatti, Nicola Toffolini, Sabrina Mezzaqui, Carlo Steiner.
Come Teaching Artist ha lavorato sia in italia che all'estero presso scuole elementari e medie, e ha tenuto laboratori sul movimento ed esperienziali per adulti e ragazzi in contesti formativi e artistici –tra gli altri, AtelierSi a Bologna, e Fivizzano27 a Roma.
